Really great stay.

Beautifully appointed apartment, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We were close to the main road, which gave a bit of traffic noise, but it was in no way annoying or disturbing. Short walk to the New World supermarket and good pubs and restaurants.

The room is clean and in good condition, however, my room is at the corner of the motel and facing the main road, the heavy trucks passing through were very noisy. Didn’t rest well due to the noise, and I was wearing my earplugs.
